Megan Gale is Our Wonder Woman
The big news coming out of geek land is that Australian supermodel Megan Gale, whose biggest role to date has been assaying the pivotal role of the nameless “Dr. Orbit’s Secretary” in 2005’s “Stealth”, has landed the much coveted role of Wonder Woman in the upcoming Justice League of America movie to be directed by fellow Aussie George Miller. (I smell a conspiracy.) So how will Megan Gale do in the role? Um, well, we know she’ll certainly fill out that tiara and corset very nicely, if these pictures of the model turned actress turned would-be big screen superhero are any indication. Holy cow she’s got some body on her.
Kristen Bell’s Complex Magazine Videoshoot
Kristen Bell’s shoot for Complex magazine is all the rage, even though I don’t think anyone has actually even gotten their hands on the little buggers. (That’ll change soon when the magazine releases the issue with Kristen on the cover, I suspect.) But hey, why wait for the magazine, when you can see the videoshoot itself first? It’s almost like seeing the magazine except kinda better. I’ll take a video of a photoshoot instead of the pictures from said photoshoot anyday. Mind you, I’d still like to see those pictures, but beggars can’t be choosers. Check out the videoshoot. (By the way, how retarded are these entertainment news shows? Holy God. Who writes this crap that these people read off the teleprompter? “…shows off her lovely lady limbs”? Dear God.)
Nicolas Cage’s The Wicker Man Trailer — Recut as a Comedy
I’ve never seen Nicolas Cage’s “The Wicker Man” remake, but from everything I’ve heard, it’s a pretty ghastly movie that almost no one liked. Well that might be because the film was a straight horror/thriller. But what if it was a comedy instead? Someone was thinking that, too, and they have gone and re-edited the trailer for “Wicker Man”, added a new soundtrack, and voila — here’s a recut version of the “Wicker Man” trailer — as a comedy! It’s pretty damn funny. Why is Nicolas Cage’s character going around punching chicks? That just seems wrong some how. The bees! The bees!
Charisma Carpenter is Single? Call Me!
The big news of the day via all the entertainment shows is that Charisma Carpenter, Cordelia Chase on Angel and Buffy and dream girl of my fantasies, has split from her husband of five years, Damian something or rather. Which is good news for all the single guys out there, because let’s face it, towards the end of its run, Angel was practically unwatchable except for the occasional half-naked scenes involving Charisma Carpenter, whose character ended up pregnant and delivered some demon child or something. Hey, I wasn’t really paying attention toward the end there. But I digress. Call me, Charisma!
Grand Theft Auto 4 Cover Art
Buckle up, kiddos — Grand Theft Auto 4 is coming, and it’s going to blow your mind. Or at least, it’ll be very, very entertaining, and you’ll end up playing it for hours upon hours because that’s how we like to roll in Liberty City. (I could do without the flying, though. The whole flying stuff is just stupid.) Rockstar Games says they’ll release the game to end all game sometime between February and April of 2008. Maybe later. Maybe sooner. Basically, whenever they’re done, they’ll put it out, and when you’re talking about a game as immersive as the Grand Theft Auto games, where you can basically play forever and never get bored — okay, you could probably get bored, but it would take a looooong time to get bored. Anyhoo. Here’s the supposed final cover art for GTA 4 and a trailers, with a third trailer supposedly coming very soon.
Jennifer Love Hewitt Bikini Pictures are Not so Hot
Here are some fresh bikini pictures of Jennifer Love Hewitt that are — wow, that are not so hot. I’ve always thought that Jennifer Love Hewitt has some of the worst fashion sense I’ve ever seen, and this is coming from a guy who owns only two sets of clothes — jeans and T-shirts. But more often than not, I’ll see Jennifer Love Hewitt out on talk shows wearing some of the most ghastly wardrobe. But dude, I think I’d prefer Jennifer in some fugly dress instead of these bikini pictures. I don’t wanna say that Jennifer Love Hewitt is not looking her best here, but let’s just say that TV has not done her any favors. The gut, the big ass — Holy. Not good. Not good at all. I am so disillusioned right now…
Summer Glau Makes for One Sexy Terminator
I already liked the idea of a TV version of the Terminator franchise, what with Lena Headey assaying the Sarah Connor role, but when the good folks at FOX added the gorgeous Summer Glau to the cast — as a Terminator, no less! — you just know I was gonna watch this thing come hell or high water. So to make sure you bums out there do likewise — hey, we gotta keep this thing on TV, and that means watching it — here are some Summer Glau promos and screen caps from the pilot episode to get your motors running. Yes, there are more of this in the pilot episode. Watch it when it comes on January 2008. If not, I’ll be back and eat your sandwich.
Kristen Bell in Complex Magazine
You know, I never really saw a full episode of Kristen Bell’s TV series Veronica Mars, and as a result I never understood what all the hoopla over Bell was. Then I saw her on Heroes. Now I don’t know if Kristen Bell’s Veronica Mars character was anything like the Elle girl in Heroes, but even if she was just a little bit — yeah, now I can see why she’s so appealing. She’s got that wacky, easy-going personality that geeks just totally dig. Anyways, here’s Kristen Bell in the latest Complex Magazine. Two covers for the price of one, kids. Can’t wait for the interior spread…
Brit Babe Invasion: Sinead Moynihan
Another Brit Babe graces our page, and she also happens to be a Hollyoaks girl. Coincidence? Yeah, if you believe we’re all alone in the universe, because obviously we’re not. Um, where was I? Oh right. Our Brit Babe of the day is Sinead Moynihan, who plays the character Beth Clement on the British TV soap Hollyoaks. Or maybe you know her more as Ashley Webb in Drop Dead Gorgeous, which incidentally, is also the title of my autobiography when I find time to finally sit down and write it. Because, you know, people are clamoring for it, and you know me, I’m always willing to give to the people.
Brooke Burke in Ralph Magazine
How could you ever get too much of Brooke Burke? It’s like saying, “Dude, I’ve gotten way too much of this thing called air, and I don’t want anymore.” I mean, come on, it ain’t gonna happen! Anyhoo. Here’s the always lovely and bikini-licious Brooke Burke on the cover and inside the pages of Ralph Magazine. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — I don’t know who this Ralph dude is, but he’s God’s give to men everywhere. Think about it — what kind of gumption do you gotta have to name a magazine after yourself and slap super hot women on the cover? You go, Ralph! (And if there isn’t a Ralph in real life, uh, nevermind.)
Miss Puerto Rico Ingrid Marie Rivera
Ingrid Marie Rivera wanted to be Miss Puerto Rico so bad, she wouldn’t let a sneak pepper spray attack by one of her fellow contestants stop her. And it didn’t, as she won the crown this weekend. But wait — was she REALLY attacked, or did she make it up? I guess we’ll find out soon enough, and we’ll either point fingers in scorn or marvel at her bravery, etc. In any case, all we care about here is that there’s a new beauty contestant in the area, and her name is Ingrid Marie Rivera. She’s not exactly the best looking of the bunch, but hey, anyone who can fill out a two-piece bikini is a-okay in our book. Just stay away from peppers, Ingrid, if you know what I mean.
Best FP Shooter of 2007: Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has got to be the best damn shooter of 2007. Or at least in my opinion it is. But then again, I’ve always been a rabid fan of the COD game series. They started out as World War II first-person shooters, but by the third installment I guess the makers of the game realized that WWII was worn out, so they brought the series to the modern age. COD 4: Modern Warfare is the result. The weapons are just excellent, and the action is extremely entertaining. The game itself was way too short in my mind, but that might be because I’m so used to the COD games that I literally ran through them in pretty fast order. But if you’ve never played the COD games, or if you’ve never played a first-person shooter, period, you gotta grab a copy of COD 4. Check out the trailer for it below.
Kari Byron Can Bust My Myth Anytime
Myths fascinates us. Such as the myth that Michael Jackson is not an alien from outer space. See what I did there? Instead of saying that the myth is Michael Jackson being an alien, I reverse it and say the myth is that he ISN’T an alien from outer space? Get it? Oh man, I’m just way too clever for you guys. Where was I? Oh right, Kari Byron is the much-needed feminine injection into the show Mythbusters, where two guys try to disproves various myths that they encounter. I’ve seen the show on and off, but I’ve always stayed because of Kari Byron. It sure as heck isn’t for the bald guy with the ridiculous goatee, that’s for sure. And come on, you know I love me my redheads.
Down Under with Brooke Satchwell
It’s that time of the week again, when we dive into the blue waters of Australia (water is blue down there, right?) for yet another fresh-faced starlet to whittle away our time. The lovely lass this time is Neighbours star Brooke Satchwell, who first appeared on Australian television on in 1996. She won the Best New Talent at the 1998 Logie Awards, and a Australian People’s Choice Award for Favorite Teen Idol in 1999. Basically, the girl is really popular, and talented to boot. She can currently be seen on the TV series Canal Road, Dangerous, and Tripping Over, which I hear is a must-see. Well, not really, I don’t know anyone who watches Aussie TV, so you know, eh. Please to enjoy.
Beauty and the Geek’s Nadia Underwood
If you don’t know who Nadia Underwood is, then you probably aren’t a daily watcher of the Reality TV show Beauty and the Geek, which was produced by Ashton Kutcher, whatever that means. I guess he came up with the idea or something. In any case, Nadia Underwood was one of the losing contestants of Season 3. If you’ve never watched the show, basically a bunch of nerds get hooked up with a bunch of really hot girls (of which Nadia is one) and they pair up to compete against one another. The winning couple gets $250,000 and other prizes. I’m guessing the prizes are for the girls and for the geeks, well, where exactly will they ever get the chance to rub shoulders with girls like Nadia Underwood? Hell, the show’s premise at least makes more sense than that idiotic Dancing with the Stars.
Mass Effects: The Next Great Game?
Is Mass Effect the next great game to rival Halo, et al? Maybe. More info: “This is an exclusive sneak peek at a Sci Fi Channel documentary about the new game “Mass Effect.” Produced by g-NET Media, the program features interviews with the developers at BioWare, game-industry insiders, science & technology experts, and a mix of celebrities, actors & athletes who all have a lot to say about how science & technology meet art & fiction in this epic new story.” Check out the video below. It looks pretty damn solid.
We Have a Need for Krystal Forscutt
Krystal Forscutt must hold the record for parlaying the losing appearance on a Reality TV show into a thriving modeling gig. And now the former Big Brother Australia sexpot can add videogame movie star to her list of credits when she appears in CGI form in the game Need for Speed: ProStreet. Besides this being the first Australian to show up in the videogame, it also means I gotta brust up on my racing games. I’m usually pretty good in racing games, but I never really got into the Need for Speed series, mostly because I can’t quite get the hang off all the modifications and junk that you have to do in-between the racing courses. Me, I just wanna race and that’s pretty much it. Anyhoo. Krystal Forscutt. Hot. Please to enjoy.
Tila Tequila in Jack Magazine
Tila Tequila, aka Tila Nguyen, although she’s pretty much dump the Nguyen (too ethnic, perhaps?) entirely for the Tequila moniker, which I suppose is more, er, cool. The girl is a bit of an acquired taste; you either like what she’s got, or you don’t care for it. I’m somewhat in-between. Yup, I can dig what the girl’s got and is offering, but at the same time, perhaps a little bit too much tattoos? Here’s The A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila star in Jack Magazine. I guess you could say that Tila knows Jack. Har har, get it? Oh, I kill me.
Leighton Meester Looks Good All Cleaned Up
Leighton Meester has always been sexy, but now she’s classy? Apparently so, because she looks classy hot in these pictures where our lovely Gossip Girl star was attending something somewhere where people are required to dress up and look respectable and whatnot. I myself have given up being respectable, what having found it to not be of much use for anything besides looking dorky. Then again, if I looked as good as Leighton Meester all dressed up, I would have a different opinion. Mind you, I’m not saying I want to look good in a dress, but you know what I mean. Right? Say you know what I mean before I jump in the lake.
Hayden Panettiere in GQ
Is Heroes star Hayden Panettiere dating her co-star Milo something-or-rather? Is she too hot for TV? Does she really hate the Japanese? Does she really love dolphins? Oh, so many questions, and so little time to care. Which is to say, I don’t really care to answer any of those questions, but I do care that Hayden Panettiere is in GQ, and for some reason she’s decided to do some hula-hooping. Plus, er, other stuff. Yes, it’s Hayden Panettiere in a brief GQ spread. Now see, this is why I watch Heroes — it’s not because it’s a rad show with rad superpowers, but I’m hoping that there will be a scene where Hayden hula-hoops while wearing her undies. Wouldn’t that just be swell?
